I posted this elsewhere, have about 1200 miles on the car so far
-MIRRORS-
It was very dewy this morning and I had to pull over and wipe off the passenger side mirror, without that you can forget about lane changes. They deffinitely need heated mirrors, next time I'll know to check and see if I need to wipe them off before starting my drive.
Also very important, I think they should have lowered the mirrors an inch or or so, they are in direct line with your vision and block out people walking in cross walks parking lots etc. A slightly lower mirror would have solved this problem. you have to be careful while turning, look around and over them.
-BLINDSPOTS-
I'm getting use to the blind spots, at first I was very wimpy at changing lanes, etc.
-TELESCOPING STEERING WHEEL-
Yes, should have one
-REAR TIRE NOISE-
Its amazing at how little pebbles and rocks can make so much noise when hitting the inside of the fender wells, those tires pick up every little thing!!!
I looked in the fender well and there is a plastic insert that seams to be the culprit. I'm going to try and take off and coat wih some rubber or plasti-kote, this should help soften the impact and eliminate the noise. I can't beleive they didn't catch this in pre-production vehicles.
UPDATE: Looking into an sound deadener coating or bedliner spray to coat the fenderwells.
-PHONE NOISE-
Have you ever had your cell phone next too some computer speakers and all of a sudden it starts spitting out a bunch of static and chatter, I'm sure your familiar with the sound. Well it does it in the 370Z!! and it is very annoying!!
Anyone else experiencing this???, I have a first gen Iphone.
-CLUTCH CLUNK-
When going from first to second gear, if I haven't got the revs up to around 3k or above, when I depress the clutch to go to second it makes a very distinctive clunk sound. It only does it from first to second, and only if the rpms are low. I can also get it to surface if I'm in first going slowly in a parking lot and depress the clutch, I'll here it then too.
Anyone else experiencing this????
It's very grabby, seams like it takes a lot of finess, this is my 5th or 6th manual car, so it's not like I don't know how to drive one. I'm attributing it to high strength pressure plate, and probably needing to break in a bit. Not sure if I should take it back to the dealer and mention something though.
UPDATE: Taking it into the dealer to have it looked at on Wednesday.
That's about it for now, other then that, it's a great little car, lots of fun to drive.
